Description: Katarina Elg values her independence more than anything. Then she becomes pregnant and decides, surprisingly perhaps, to keep the baby. Her lover reacts violently, thinking she is trying to trap him. Katarina remembers watching her mother being abused and wonders, can violence be inherited? If so, can it be inherited among victims? These thoughts lead her to approach her mother, and the two women open up to each other as the past is confronted and explored.
